General Discussion

and hard on us small business people. My husband and I run a small (very) gem, mineral, and jewelry business. In Virginia we are required to collect and pay sales tax (we don't at shows we go to out of state because we don't do more than one in each state). VA sales tax is generally 6.5% although I think it's higher in beltway counties. It generally comes out to odd amounts. I don't really want to round up, but rounding down hurts our profit, which is small enough as it is.
(As we said at the show in TN last weekend, "We don't charge sales tax bere because we don't have to pay your governor." )
